14 may result in Disciplinary Probation. The University schedules several occasions each semester with open residence hall hours when students can visit friends of the opposite gender in their rooms. Students are permitted to have samegender guests stay in their residence hall room overnight. The following guidelines should be observed when hosting others in your room: Overnight guests can stay up to three nights per semester on campus without a charge. There will be an additional charge of $25 per day for the fourth through the seventh night. No student can stay more than seven nights per semester. Overnight guests should be at least age 12 and under the age of 25. Overnight guests are not permitted during the first week of school or during finals. Baby-sitting in the residence halls is not permitted. Any overnight guest not registered with Admissions should be registered by the student host using the Overnight Lodging Request on myCU. Residence hall students must inform their RA and roommate if they plan to spend the night in another student’s room. QUIET HOURS At all times, students should respect the rights and needs of their fellow students and maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to sleep and study. Students should be especially attentive to noise levels from 11 p.m.–7 a.m. During these hours: Noise should be confined to individual rooms and designated lounges. It should be quiet enough for students to sleep or study without interruption. PRANKS AND DISTURBANCES Pranks have the potential to damage University or personal property, harm our testimony, and hurt others. To prevent damage to property, water fights or disturbances involving other damaging substances are not permitted in or around the residence halls or campus buildings. In addition, students should not interfere with, or alter in any way, another student’s room or its contents. Tampering with another’s personal possessions, including his or her automobile, is also inappropriate. Students involved in such pranks will receive at least a $15 fine and be responsible for restitution for any damages that occur. MEDIA DISCERNMENT Cedarville University encourages students to think carefully about their choices in entertainment, in terms of the content’s impact on self and others as well as stewardship of their time and money. Current media rating systems provide a helpful starting point for the discerning Christian but should not be considered infallible. Although many movies, TV shows, or video games with restricted ratings (R-, TV-MA-, etc.) are clearly inappropriate, even titles with less restrictive ratings (e.g., PG-13) may be equally inappropriate. Cedarville encourages students to Biblically evaluate how the movie, show, music, or other media they consume presents a worldview and how that worldview does or does not align with Scripture. Students should prayerfully use discernment in choosing what media to avoid based on their worldview and/or the amount of time the students spend consuming them compared to their time with the Lord each day.
